Josh Donaldson (calf) hopes to resume baserunning drills this week.

Donaldson has been ramping up his workouts at the Blue Jays' spring training complex lately and hasn't had any issues to this point. The Jays think he'll be back this season, and hopefully sometime this month so that they can trade him to a contender. Donaldson has been sidelined since late May with a lingering left calf injury.

Josh Donaldson (calf) is "ramping up intensity" in his workouts in hopes of soon returning to game action.

The actual quote from a team spokesman is the third baseman is "ramping up intensity in Florida over the next several days and, pending his tolerance to this, will begin baserunning and preparation for game play." It's the first mention of Donaldson nearing a return to game action since he hit the shelf on May 28 with a strained left calf. It's a promising development in a rehab and, frankly, career that's been devoid of many promising developments on the injury front. Aug 11 - 6:25 PM

The Blue Jays are hopeful that Josh Donaldson (calf) will be able to begin sprinting workouts soon.

That's the final hurdle that Donaldson needs to clear before he can begin a minor league rehab assignment. He's been working out, taking grounders, hitting, throwing, and jogging since mid-July. The impending free agent third baseman will likely be the big fish on the August waiver trade market if he's at 100 percent health. He's been out since May 29 with a lingering left calf injury.

They needed to clear some 40-man roster space after Monday's trade with the Astros. Donaldson has already missed 60-plus days, so this is a procedural move. He is expected back sometime in August. Jul 30 - 8:01 PM

Donaldson has been ramping up his workouts at the Blue Jays' spring training complex lately and hasn't had any issues to this point. The Jays think he'll be back this season, and hopefully sometime this month so that they can trade him to a contender. Donaldson has been sidelined since late May with a lingering left calf injury.

Blue Jays placed INF Yangervis Solarte on the 10-day disabled list with a right oblique strain.

The severity isn't known at this point, but oblique strains are often multi-week injuries. Russell Martin is expected to play plenty at third base while Solarte and Brandon Drury (hand) are out, at least until Josh Donaldson (calf) makes it back.

Aaron Sanchez (finger) allowed four runs on five hits and two walks over three innings Thursday in his rehab debut with the Blue Jays' affiliate in the Gulf Coast League.

Yikes. Facing a team of mostly teenagers and first-year pros, Sanchez struggled with his command and was easily hittable when did find the plate. The 26-year-old has been out since June 22 due to discomfort in his right middle finger and seems doubtful to provide any sort of fantasy value down the stretch. He has a 4.52 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 79 2/3 innings this season with the Blue Jays.
